Letter: Curbing violence needs indepth research

A gun, much like a knife, a club or a bomb are inert objects. These objects are only the instrument used by someone intending on harming another. Alone they are harmless.

Appointing his cabinet members is only window dressing. All beholden to him, saying what he wants to hear. The problem is much greater than the instrument used (guns). What type of people commit these horrendous killings and why? Give the panel a free rein to research and study the problem.
